Winter Classes: Sundays
(September 4 - November 27)

Luke: Jesus Ate with Outcasts (ALL ADULTS)
Floyd M. Williamson11:15 A.M.Main Auditorium (RM 102)
One of the themes in the Gospel of Luke is Jesus’ inclusion of different types of people in his table fellowships. It’s been
observed that Jesus went out of his way in his ministry to associ-ate with, to eat with, and to include people in the intimacy of eat-ing. It’s as if, he was either on his way to a meal, eating a meal, or leaving a meal. By breaking bread with people, Jesus was breaking down social barriers. Some may call these meals, spiritual power meals. The goal of this class is to encourage each of us to use every opportunity, especially mealtimes, as times to interact with others on a spiritual level, just like Jesus did.

Sanctified: Set Apart for a Purpose! A
Study of 1& 2 Peter
(Ladies Only) Isabelle Williamson11:15 A.M.Room 101
Peter is writing to Christians who were struggling with the world around them, just as we do today. Peter admonished them and us to hold on to the faith through hard times, because of the hope of Salvation and an eternal home in heaven that we have as God’s chosen people. So as Christians, we are called to live our physical lives with a sojourning mindset. This affects the way we relate and interact with our families, the church, and the world around us. Students will develop a better understanding of 1 & 2 Peter and to encourage one another to stay strong and persevere together as God’s chosen people because of our mutual hope of salvation.

Foundations for the Christian Faith (All Adults)Tyrone Allen11:15 A.M.Room 115This class will walk participants through the Bible Basics of the Old and New Testament. A survey course designed for new
converts and mature Christians who want to understand the books and message of the Word of God. Using the Eight Lessons of the John Hurt series along with introductory surveys of the books of the Bible the class will secure Faith in God. The time spent in this class will offers a timeless treasury of knowledge to equip you as God's servant.

“ . . . but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ . . .
2 Peter 3:18
“. . . like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, so
that by it you may grow . . . “
I Peter 2:2

Daniel (All Adults)Floyd M. Williamson7:30 P.M.Main Auditorium
The Book of Daniel includes exciting narratives, visions, and
prophecies. Daniel was one of the many Jews who’d been taken into Babylonian exile. He lived during a critical time in Jewish history,
because the Temple in Jerusalem had been destroyed and they were uncertain about how this was going to affect their relationship with God. Yet it’s during this time that Daniel shows God’s absolute
sovereignty over all people and things, through His mighty
power. God had not left His people, nor had they forsaken Him. As they believed, prayed, and worshiped Him, God continued to bless them with His grace and loving-kindness. Students in this class will grow in faith, become confident in their relationship with God, and to trust in His mighty power, that He will never abandon or forsake them (Romans 8:31-39).

Galatians (All Adults)
Errol G. Williams II7:30 P.M.Room 101
This class will conduct an in-depth review of the book of Galatians to explore the liberty that we have as Christians. Through scriptural
examination, students will make contrasts between the Mosaic law and the law of Christ. Topics of exploration include: (1) The legitimacy of Paul's Apostleship; (2) The purpose of the law of Moses; and (3) Justification by faith. Students will walk away with an understanding of how to live out God's will through the fruits of the Spirit.
